In addition to Lavra, the SBU is conducting a search in three more monasteries in Rivne Region.



The SBU press service said that police and the National Guard were working at the site together with the SBU.

The SBU said that it was carrying out counter-sabotage measures

- preventing the Lavra from being used as a hotbed of the "Russian world";

- checking data on the use of the UOC premises for hiding saboteurs, foreign nationals, weapons storage;

- Ensuring security of the population from provocations and terrorist attacks.

In addition, the security service carries out checks of persons on the territory of the Lavra regarding their involvement in illegal activities to the detriment of the state sovereignty of Ukraine.

Also in Rivne region, the Security Service of Ukraine reported conducting counterintelligence activities on the premises of the Sarnyna-Polesia diocese of the UOC-MP, as well as the Koretskyi Holy Trinity Monastery and the convent in honour of the Volyn icon of the Mother of God in the village of Sernyky.

It is worth recalling that a few weeks ago a PCU priest released a video taken in one of the churches of Kiev-Pechersk Lavra. In the church, parishioners sing "The ringing is floating, floating over Russia, Mother Russia is awakening".
